The Guam Department of Education began a three-day health and safety conference Tuesday that teaches educators how to handle active shooter situations and other threats.
The conference is similar to safety workshops held before the pandemic.
“We wanted to reinstitute this so it’d be an opportunity for staff, administrators, management and also our partners like the police department to come together, go over some of the major safety issues that we foresee taking place on campus, and even those that we may not foresee, but need to be prepared for,” said Superintendent Jon Fernandez. Law enforcement professionals presented best practices and methods in school violence prevention, school shooting mitigation, and community response to an active shooter situation.
